Picked up this unit new off of ebay back in July of 2008. Have used it off and on, mostly for the plasma and tig. Was working on a log splitter for my dad the other night cutting a piece of 1/4" plate when my arc suddenly stopped and I noticed a puff of smoke coming from the side.

I pulled the cover and found what looks to be a blown fuse. Problem is it looks like it melted part of the board too. Going to attach some pictures for conformation. Not sure if it can be repaired, if it is still under warranty or if I can get the parts. Any conformation/insight would be appreciated.
